The National Association of Educators (ANDE) called its affiliates to participate on a “great national strike” on August 8th. The demonstration will begin at 9 am, at La Merced Park, in downtown San José, heading for the Legislative Assembly.
According to the union, the strike was called for several reasons, including dual education, pensions from the National Magisterium, the right to work and even in support of the strike held by employees of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS).
In addition to this demonstration, for this Thursday the movement of unions of the CCSS that began last Monday is maintained. Students also plan to hold protests in educational centers and a concentration outside the Congress, where the Dual Education project will be voted on in the second reading.
